Qaddafi Pushes Ahead With Attacks on Rebels as Arab League Calls for No-Fly Zone

Fox News:

BIN JAWAAD, Libya -- Muammar al-Qaddafi tightened his grip Saturday on the coastal road linking his territory to the rebel-controlled east, pushing forward the front line in Libya's grueling internal conflict and showing off control of devastated towns just seized from the opposition.

The Arab League asked the U.N. Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to protect the rebels, increasing pressure on the U.S. and other Western powers to take action that most have expressed deep reservations about.

The 22-nation league said after an emergency meeting in Cairo that it was asking the United Nations "to carry out its responsibility."

Anticipating little international action, the rebels said they were trying to buy arms they would need if the now-fly zone was not imposed.

"If the international community chooses to play the role of bystander, watching all the Libyan people being killed and cities destroyed, then we will have to defend ourselves," Adbel-Hafidh Ghoga, a spokesman for the rebels' national council, told reporters in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Libya's own neighbors want action. No word on whether Hillary approves or not.

I also read that Briton and France support the no-fly plan. The DB is playing golf.

So I wonder what action he plans to take?

 

I also wonder why the DB never allows the press to follow him on the golf course or post any of his scores? Is he any good? Or a better golfer than president?

Contentions What if Qaddafi Wins?

(Snip)If the only Arab rulers to be deposed by revolution are the nominally pro-American “moderates,” while the mass-murdering state sponsors of terrorism hang on, change indeed will be coming to the Middle East and North Africa, but it won’t be the change we were hoping for. One thing, however, will not have changed an iota: the Middle East will be governed by violence just as it always has.

 

If the Caligula of North Africa survives by fighting to the death and prevailing, he will surely inspire the other hard rulers to take the same strategy, especially after the humiliating and mostly nonviolent defeats of Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Tunisia’s Ben Ali. The killers of the resistance bloc — Iran’s Islamic Republic, Bashar al-Assad’s Baath Party in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Gaza — won’t likely be overthrown by peaceful demonstrations but by massive internally or externally driven wars.
